wormer without egg withdrawal?

[casportpony]

Thanks Casportpony interesting, Yes I will make a few phone calls and see best course of action. Thanks for the explanation of the different types of testing. Very interesting, I did do some research and did find that there are different worm types with different control drugs. Phone calls will be made, thanks so much for your time.

You're welcome!

If you do decide to learn how to do your own, the folks that posted on the at home fecal thread are great resources, and I think KsKingBee has done over 200 of them by now.

That's why having fecals done at the veterinarian's will be best. You can ask how their fecals are done, and decide where to send them then. Mary

None of these answers touched on the question. Let's just say, for kicks and giggles, you've done all the intricate testing..your chicken has worms, let's say round work and pick another if you need. IS there any worme r made that has no or little egg withdrawal time????

It is my understanding that egg withdrawal is designed so that humans consuming the eggs don't have an allergic reaction to trace amounts of the medication passed into the eggs. If you are selling eggs, this should be adhered to. If you are consuming the eggs yourself, you can decide for yourself if you want to risk it. I give the first egg to the dog, then I eat them anyway.

Fenbendazole is now approved for chickens in the USA, at least in one form (Aquasol) with no egg withdrawal, as I recall. That's it for now. Anything else you use will be unapproved, so officially egg withdrawal is forever.
You can look things up on the FARAD.org site; it's generally very up to date.
Some flocks will never or nearly never have issues with internal parasites, and others will do better with frequent treatment. There's no one answer, and very limited choices in products that are effective.
From a strictly herd health and breeding standpoint, eliminating individuals who have the most problems will pay off in having a healthier flock.

Nothing has really changed; aquasol and flubenvet are the only two wormers I know of that dont have egg withdrawal periods.
That said, we've eaten eggs after using one of these products; valbazen, safeguard, wazine, pyrantel pamoate. We're still here.

I am not too worried about the corrupt FDA. Let’s just say that I would like to know if anyone has experienced a good wormer with little or not withdraw. Willing to tried international product. I just want to have it in my arsenal for when I need it.

You can call this company in the UK and ask them if they'll ship you some flubenvet.

Wow this product has no egg withdraw. However, the website has no option for shipping to the US. I will call them anyways, thanks!
